Abstract

The application relates to an energy storage including a plurality of energy modules arranged in one or more energy module strings. A string controller is configured for controlling a current path through the energy module strings by controlling the status of a plurality of semiconductor switches. A first end of a current path is electrically connectable to a first electric system of a first electric bus via a first bus switch and to a second electric system of a second electric bus via a second bus switch. A second end of the current path is electrically connectable to a first reference potential being the same as the reference potential of the electric systems connected to the first end of the current path. An energy storage controller is configured for controlling the status of the first bus switch and of the second bus switch in dependency of the received power status.
